    It's ok if it's only flat at the bottom of the tyre.

    When I used the kit on my mother-in-laws car I deflated the tyre completely. Was much easier to sort out from flat. Had a nightmare on our old motor when I tried it with air still in the tyre.

    Put the spare on otherwise you might not be able to get the puncture repaired properly with the stuff in it

    No spare.. Luckily I'm at home. Rang landrover assist, and as someone just said better not to use the kit except in dire emergency as it fks the tyre.. Despite advice from the dealer service earlier today to use the kit.. Honestly life is sent to try us...

    Those systems trash the wheel making it undesirable. I carry some Holt's tyre weld as well because that not so gloopy.
